Abstract
There is provided according to some embodiments of the invention a wireless identification device (‘WIDD’) with tamper protection. According to some embodiments of the invention, the WIDD may include a tamper protection sensor and a processing module. The tamper protection sensor may be configured for sensing a physical property related to at least one essential functional component of the WIDD, the physical property is affected by an attempt to physically remove the at least one essential functional component of the WIDD from a surface to which it is attached during initialization. The processing module is adapted to receive or obtain, at a substantially high frequency, data corresponding to readings from the tamper protection sensor. The processing module is responsive to a relatively sharp and abrupt non-transient change in the level of the physical property for initiating a disablement action or procedure.
